BACKGROUND OF INVENTION 1. Field of Invention

The present invention relates to an exercise chair, and more particularly to an exercise chair with multiple effects.

2. Description of the Related Art

Nowadays yoga exercise or massage often uses a roller as an auxiliary device. By resting the body part against the roller, the user can apply his or her own weight on the roller, so the roller can simultaneously relax and massage the muscle during the rolling process, which increases the blood circulation of the muscles. However, the structure of the traditional yoga roller is mostly formed in one rigid piece with limited size and shape, it cannot be adjusted according to different movement styles or different users and can only provide a rolling massage effect than other effect.

Therefore, it is desirable to provide an exercise chair to mitigate and/or obviate the aforementioned problems.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

Please refer to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3. An exercise chair comprises a base 10, a top member 20 and at least one middle pad 30 disposed between the base 10 and the top member 20. The base 10 has an assembling face 11 and a curved face 12. The assembling face 11 has a plurality of assembling rods 111. The top member 20 has an engaging face 21 and a seating face 22. The engaging face 21 has a plurality of engaging apertures 211. The at least one middle pad 30 has a plurality of engaging indentations 31 on a lower surface and a plurality of engaging protrusions 32 on an upper surface.

The base 10, the top member 20, and the middle pad 30 are correspondingly provided with three assembling rods 111, three engaging apertures 211, three engaging protrusions 32 and three engaging indentations 31. The assembling rods 111, the engaging apertures 211, the engaging protrusions 32 and the engaging indentations 31 are arranged evenly around a center point of the exercise chair (as shown in FIG. 5).

For an assembly example, please refer to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3. The assembling face 11 of the base 10 comprises a plurality of assembling grooves 110 adhered with the plurality of assembling rods 111. The top member 20 has an upper portion 201 and a lower portion 202. The upper portion 201 is provided with a seating face 22, and the lower portion 202 is provided with a plurality of engaging apertures 211 penetrating through the engaging face 21. The at least one middle pad 30 further comprises a plurality of through apertures 301 for respectively accepting a portion of a column member 302, another portion of each column member 302 is configured as an engaging protrusion 32, and the lower surface of the middle pad 30 is provided with the plurality of engaging indentations 31. Therefore, the column member 302 of the middle pad 30 removed corresponding to each through aperture 301 are able to be reused as the engaging protrusions 32 corresponding to the engaging indentation 31. In other words, the design of the exercise chair is very ecofriendly.

For another embodiment, please refer to FIG. 4. The assembling face 11 of the base 10 is formed with the plurality of assembling rods 111, the engaging face 21 of the top member 20 is formed with the plurality of engaging apertures 211, and the lower and upper surfaces of the at least one middle pad 30 are from with the plurality of the engaging indentations 31 and engaging protrusions 32.

The middle pad 30 can be added or removed according to the height or the movement of the user, due to the engaging indentations 31 and the engaging protrusions 32 on both sides, and the engaging indentations 31 at the bottom engage with the assembly rod 111 of the assembly face 11 of the base 10, then the engaging protrusions 32 engage with the engaging aperture 211 of the engaging face 21 of the top member 20 to form an exercise chair.

The usage of the preferred embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. The seating face 22 of the top member 20 of the exercise chair provides seating area for the user, and the curved face 12 of the base 10 is placed on the ground to present the exercise chair in a vertical position. When the children sit on the chairs, the curved face 12 can be used for the coordination training. Adults can use the exercise chair at home or office, with the curved face 12, the user can sway and swing to strengthen and train the core muscles.

When the exercise chair is vertical standing, the user can bent down the upper body to hold the top member 20 with both hands, as shown in FIG. 8, in order to use exercise chair to train the strength of upper limbs and waist.
